The thesis presents a quick overview of Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC). The thesis presents model reference based neural network structure that can be used for adaptive control of linear and nonlinear processes. ...

This dissertation focuses on a meta-heuristic optimization algorithm i.e. big bang big crunch optimization (BBBC) algorithm and major setbacks in BBBC algorithm with respect to its conceptual and working structure. A ...

The purpose here is to design a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) because the design process is going to include topics from analog, digital, IC design, and control system theory. A phase locked loop (PLL) is a closed loop feedback ...

Since the introduction of power electronics in 1960s, the number of nonlinear loads has increased significantly. The use of the power electronic devices leads to reactive power problems and injection of harmonics in ...

Existing economic dispatch mechanisms fails to operate e ectively in case of microgrid with high penetration of renewable energy resources (RESs). An intelligent control technique is required that can tackle both variability ...

Legged locomotion holds numerous advantage over wheeled one on rough terrain. But computational complexity and use of fix pattern of leg movement in classical control method severely reduces the advantage of legged locomotion. ...
